Backgauge Axes 6-AXIS CNC Independent Finger Control
Angle Accuracy ±0.25° Dynamic Crowning
HYDRAULIC CROWNING COMPENSATION

Eliminating Center Canoe Deflection on Long Flight Enclosures

Standard press brakes deflect under tonnage, resulting in open bend angles in the center of long parts. The TRUMPF TruBend 5130 features a dynamic hydraulic crowning system in the lower beam that automatically counteracts machine frame deflection in real time.

Key Aerospace Capabilities:
  • Staged bending setups: Multiple punch and die stations across the 127" bed for complete part forming in one handling.
  • Urethane tool wrapping: Prevents surface tooling marks on pre-grained or cosmetic aluminum flight panels.
  • Tight hem bends and acute offset profiles down to 30 degrees.

Frequently Asked Engineering Questions

Detailed answers regarding our Plainville facility capabilities, material certifications, testing protocols, and defense contract compliance.

Q: What is the maximum sheet thickness the TRUMPF 5130 can bend?

The TruBend 5130 handles up to 0.250" steel across a full 10-foot bend, and up to 0.375" steel in shorter lengths. For thicker plate, our heavy-duty TRUMPF V170 provides higher tonnage capacity.

Q: How does 6-axis backgauging benefit complex aerospace brackets?

The 6-axis CNC backgauge fingers move independently in X, R, and Z dimensions, allowing precise, repeatable positioning for non-parallel flanges, tapered brackets, and multi-step progressive folds.
